The things I like about it are the same as you. And I have a few other observations and complaints. There have been a lot of ups and downs and a lot of discoveries along the way. In the last few weeks I just moved my wife to a Zonbu laptop as well, from an Acer/XP setup. I've been blogging about the good and the bad of that experience too.

How is it standing up to conditions in Cambodia? I would think that dedicated access to broadband might be an issue. Is the heat a problem? My only issue so far is that the Zonbu OS (Gentoo) does not support either of my printers, a Brother HL-1435 and a Canon Pixma i1500. Thanks, Beth. How is it standing up to conditions in Cambodia?
